(Vista, CA – December 9, 2013) – Fujikura’s Motore Speeder shaft brand is topping all of the headlines from the big wins last weekend. And in perfect time for the launch of the highly anticipated NEW 2014 Motore Speeder757 that will officially be launched at the 2014 PGA Merchandising Show at the end of January.
A very exciting win for the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge champ who used a Fujikura Motore Speeder 7.0 X flex in his Titleist 913 3 wood, a Fujikura Pro 95 X in 913 5 wood and a Fujikura Speeder 904 S flex in his 909 hybrid.
Meanwhile, in Irvine California, the Annual Golf Week Industry Cup took place and Titleist Engineer, Grant Martens won the long drive competition with a Fujikura Motore Speeder in his driver.
At the LPGA Tour Qualifier, the winner also used a Motore Speeder 6.1 S flex in her TaylorMade R11 driver and both RBZ (15 & 17) fairways clubs. Fujikura made a public announcement via social media on Monday congratulating her on shooting her lowest career score of 62 in the first round.
On the European Tour at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, the winner used Fujikura Rombax 7X07 in his Callaway driver.
